There is also a case study on socio-historical
aspects of a hydro-power development. The report
will be further developed to examine ethical
aspects and dynamics of community engagement,
highlighting the importance of beliefs, ethics,
norms and values of human society, with an aim to
solicit and present scientific studies on
experience of community engagement, or the lack
of it, through evidence-based case studies and/or
theory-concepts-informed discussions;
learn from different experience of
community engagement, or the lack of it, with
reflections on sustainable quality of life and human
rights;
enhance the quality of community
engagement for maximal and inclusive
participation of people for sustainability
envision sustainable human and energy
development, with good practices for community
engagement.
We are particularly interested in analyses and
case studies from different socio-cultural and geospatial
scales of community, demonstrating the
salient features and role of the ethical and
normative aspects and dynamics in shaping the
processes of community engagement. There may
also be case studies that show alienation of people
in communities from policy and procedural
decisions. How do people living in a community
engage, or become engaged, into the whole life
cycle of energy technology, from the sourcing of
energy to the recycling of energy. More
specifically, both successful (best practices) and
failure (worst cases) of community could be
examined.
